  • Leveraging Wireless Technology for Chronic Disease Management

  • CONTINUA PARTNER INDUSTRY EVENT
  • Date: October 20-22, 2008
  • Location: Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, National Harbor, MD

  • The impact of chronic disease on the U.S. health care system has increased dramatically over the past century. The Centers for Disease Control estimate that 7 out of 10 patients die due to chronic illness, and accounts for 75% of the nation's $1.4 trillion medical costs.

  • Health insurance companies and health care providers are exploring the value proposition behind wireless technology to help manage chronic diseases and a number of important pilot studies have been undertaken. But many issues need to be resolved before the industry will see commercial solutions become commonplace. Communication and dialog between the key players - from healthcare providers to insurance companies to policy makers to the mobile solution providers - is crucial.

  • In response to market demand, the American Conference Institute has developed this unique educational forum, where attendees can learn first-hand how industry experts are using wireless technology to combat diseases on the rise such as diabetes and asthma. ACI's executive-level conference demonstrates the value proposition for such solutions as industry stakeholders come together to share their first hand experiences and results from trials and case studies.
